Marketers Are From Mars [INFOGRAPHIC]

If you’ve ever tried to convince your friends of the business value of Pinterest or struggled to get your family to listen as you exhault the virtues of a great campaign you just saw, you know what I’m talking about.

In the B2B world, this uncommon thirst for knowledge and desire to find the next big thing keeps the entire industry moving forward. But these differences become a problem if you are creating content and campaigns based on your own interests and habits.
